Lepidoptera) of Murat Mountain in Banaz, UŞAK Province, Turkey Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 45(2), pp. 437-445, 2013. A Faunistic Study on Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea (Lepidoptera) of Murat Mountain in Banaz, UŞAK Province, Turkey Yusuf Hüseyinoğlu Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Letters, Mersin University, 33110 Mersin, Turkey Abstract.- This study was carried out in Murat Mountain located in Banaz district (Uşak, Western Turkey), during 2000-2009 in order to collect data on Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea species, their distribution and current status. Butterflies (756) were caught with sweep nets from 28 localities during the field work of which 113 species and subspecies belonging to 7 families and 2 superfamilies were identified; 87 species were identified for the first time for Lepidoptera fauna of Uşak province and 103 species were identified for the first time for Murat Mountain (Banaz) fauna. Key words: Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea, Hesperioidea, Murat Mountain, Banaz. INTRODUCTION records from the province of Uşak indicate only about 26 species of butterflies. In this study three species of family Papilionidae, two of Pieridae, one The study area (Murat mountain) is located of Argynnidae, seven of Satyridae, eleven of at north of Banaz district in Uşak province (Western Lycaenidae and two of Hesperiidae have been Turkey). Uşak has a very large research potential recorded. because of divers ecosystem in both forest and The objective of this study was to investigate agricultural lands. Having different ecosystems the lepidoptera fauna of Murat mountain of Uşak provide richness in habitat types for animals and province and to determine the distribution of plants, which may increase the diversity of living lepidopteran species. organisms. On the other hand, the continuing illegal use of forests and incorrect land use practices MATERIALS AND METHODS threaten the biological diversity in Uşak. Therefore, detailed studies should be carried out to determine This study was conducted in the months of the biological diversity of Uşak province. May, July and August in 28 different localities and Although Lepidoptera is one of the largest habitat types between 1050-1750 m in Murat orders among insects in terms of the number of Mountain (Banaz) from Uşak province during 2000- species, studies carried out in Turkey to determine 2009. Specimens were collected using a sweep net. the fauna and distribution of Lepidoptera are Collected specimens were killed in killing jars with insufficient. Even though there are many studies on ethyl acetate. During the collection, the collection the Lepidoptera fauna of Turkey in general date, name of the locality and altitude were noted on (Carbonel, 1998; Hüseyinoğlu, 2000; Koçak and a piece of envelope for every specimen.

  • Some Butterfly Observations in the Karaganda Oblast of Kazakstan (Lepidoptera, Rhopalocera) by Bent Kjeldgaard Larsen Received 3.111.2003
    ©Ges. zur Förderung d. Erforschung von Insektenwanderungen e.V. München, download unter www.zobodat.at Atalanta (August 2003) 34(1/2): 153-165, colour plates Xl-XIVa, Wurzburg, ISSN 0171-0079 Some butterfly observations in the Karaganda Oblast of Kazakstan (Lepidoptera, Rhopalocera) by Bent Kjeldgaard Larsen received 3.111.2003 Abstract: Unlike the Ural Mountains, the Altai, and the Tien Shan, the steppe region of Cen­ tral Asia has been poorly investigated with respect to butterflies - distribution maps of the re­ gion's species (1994) show only a handful occurring within a 300 km radius of Karaganda in Central Kazakstan. It is therefore not surprising that approaching 100 additional species were discovered in the Karaganda Oblast during collecting in 1997, 2001 and 2002. During two days of collecting west of the Balkash Lake in May 1997, nine species were identified. On the steppes in the Kazakh Highland, 30 to 130 km south of Karaganda, about 50 butterflies were identified in 2001 and 2002, while in the Karkaralinsk forest, 200 km east of Karaganda, about 70 were encountered. Many of these insects are also to be found in western Europe and almost all of those noted at Karkaralinsk and on the steppes occur in South-Western Siberia. Observations revealed Zegris eupheme to be penetrating the area from the west and Chazara heydenreichi from the south. However, on the western side of Balkash Lake the picture ap­ peared to change. Many of the butterflies found here in 1997 - Parnassius apollonius, Zegris pyrothoe, Polyommatus miris, Plebeius christophi and Lyela myops - mainly came from the south, these belonging to the semi-desert and steppe fauna of Southern Kazakstan.

  • The Radiation of Satyrini Butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae): A
    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 161, 64–87. With 8 figures The radiation of Satyrini butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae): a challenge for phylogenetic methods CARLOS PEÑA1,2*, SÖREN NYLIN1 and NIKLAS WAHLBERG1,3 1Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden 2Museo de Historia Natural, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Av. Arenales 1256, Apartado 14-0434, Lima-14, Peru 3Laboratory of Genetics, Department of Biology, University of Turku, 20014 Turku, Finland Received 24 February 2009; accepted for publication 1 September 2009 We have inferred the most comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis to date of butterflies in the tribe Satyrini. In order to obtain a hypothesis of relationships, we used maximum parsimony and model-based methods with 4435 bp of DNA sequences from mitochondrial and nuclear genes for 179 taxa (130 genera and eight out-groups). We estimated dates of origin and diversification for major clades, and performed a biogeographic analysis using a dispersal–vicariance framework, in order to infer a scenario of the biogeographical history of the group. We found long-branch taxa that affected the accuracy of all three methods. Moreover, different methods produced incongruent phylogenies. We found that Satyrini appeared around 42 Mya in either the Neotropical or the Eastern Palaearctic, Oriental, and/or Indo-Australian regions, and underwent a quick radiation between 32 and 24 Mya, during which time most of its component subtribes originated. Several factors might have been important for the diversification of Satyrini: the ability to feed on grasses; early habitat shift into open, non-forest habitats; and geographic bridges, which permitted dispersal over marine barriers, enabling the geographic expansions of ancestors to new environ- ments that provided opportunities for geographic differentiation, and diversification.

Drndi c, D¯ . Radevski, M. Miljevi c, M. D¯ uri c & M. Popovi c Abstract Anthocharis damone Boisduval, 1836 is known from southern Italy, Greece, Republic of Macedonia, Albania and further in the Middle East. At the end of May and beginning of June 2015 it was recorded for the first time in Serbia. A single isolated colony was found 170 km NW from the northernmost known locality in Europe. This record made us review A. damone distribution in Europe, suggested its possibly wider range over the Balkans and increased the list of butterflies recorded in Serbia to a total of 200 species.

LUKHTANOV and Elena A. PAZHENKOVA Accepted February 11, 2021 Published online March 01, 2021 Issue online March 31, 2021 Original article LUKHTANOV V.A., PAZHENKOVA E.A. 2021. The taxa of the Hyponephele lycaon – H. lupina species complex (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae): deep DNA barcode divergence despite morphological similarity. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 69: 11-21. The genus Hyponephele includes about 40 species distributed throughout the southern part of the Palaearctic area. Within this genus, the taxa of the H. lycaon – H. lupina species complex are similar with respect to the wing pattern and genitalia structure. Here we revise this group using analysis of butterfly morphology, DNA barcodes, and study of the type material. We show that, with a few exceptions, the species in this group are allopatric in distribution. Allopatry in combination with phenotypic similarity may be theoretically interpreted as evidence for the conspecifity of these taxa. Here we falsify this hypothesis by using DNA barcode analysis. We show that the species of this complex are genetically very distant and cannot be combined together as a polytypic species. We also demonstrate that H. lupina consists of two deeply diverged allopatric clades, H. lupina s.s. and H. mauritanica comb. & stat. nov. The barcode p-distance between these taxa (3.4-4.9%) is significantly higher than the generally accepted ‘standard’ minimum interspecific divergence (2.0-3.0% ) threshold.
